Well, let's not get carried away, Oli. And I'm not even familiar with the case. But people should be hired based on their ability. Period. Because you know what happens next, right?

Quotas for openly gay people. And that opens the door to people lying about their orientation on job applications to increase their chances.

Let them live their lives and go about their business. I'm all for that, and I've always supported their rights on this board. But we don't need anymore "victim" groups that benefit from Affirmative Action, especially if they're going to lie about it. And for the record, I've always been in favor of it to a certain degree smile .



that people being hired because of ability shit is bullshit

we had C student as president for 8 years....Cs = average

somebody of average intelligence shouldn't lead your country

the proof is in how bad bush fucked up


Jimmy Carter was probably the most "intelligent" President we've ever had, however was probably the worst ever also.

Lots in play when grading or judging a good president, however your Bush bashing is so old and tired I'm starting to like a guy I had great disdain for.
